A microRNA atlas of the human prefrontal cortex across the adult lifespan

Irais E. Valenzuela-Arzeta, Pourya Naderi Yeganeh, Anupama Rai, Jane Banahan, Artemis Iatrou, Leinal Sejour, Madison M. Uyemura, Isaac H. Solomon, Nikolaos P. Daskalakis, Ioannis Vlachos, Winston Hide, Frank John Slack, Maria Mavrikaki

The paper creates a miRNA atlas of the human prefrontal cortex across aging, identifying age-related miRNA changes and highlighting miR-34a-5p as a key upregulated miRNA in older individuals.

TREM2 and APOE do not modulate phagocytic clearance of dying cells in the live mammalian brain

Anupama Rai, Eyiyemisi C. Damisah, Robert Hill, Lei Tong, Jaime Grutzendler

This study shows that TREM2 and APOE do not affect microglia phagocytosis of dying neurons in live mouse brains, but TREM2 influences microglia migration near amyloid plaques.
